What the capacitor Current formula?, For 1 KVAr how amps its required? for using the KVAr for boos..

Answer / sagar

Q = VIsin(fi)

capacitor current = I = Q/Vsin(fi)

For , 230 v and power factor angle 90 ,then

I = 1/230*sin 90 = 4.32 amp.

If power factor angle is 36.89 (power factor 0.8)
,then

P/Q = kw/KVAR = VIcos(fi)/VIsin(fi)

P/Q = cos(fi)/sin(fi) = Tan(fi)

P = Q tan(fi)

P = 30 tan(36.89) = 30 * 0.75 = 22.5 Kw

Current calculation for 200 kvar capacitor


CAPACITOR VOLTAGE CALCULATION

#System Voltage (MV) : 433V (WITH +- 5%)
#Voltage drop across (Maximum) : 433 x -5% = 21.65V
Capacitors working : 411.35 Volts.

CAPACITOR CURRENT CALCULATION
KVAR Calculation at 433 Volts.
KVAR 433 Volt (433)2
= ------------ 200KVAR
(411.35)2

187489
= ----------- 200 KVAR
169208

= 1.1 x 200 KVAR = 221.59

= 221.59 KVAR

Current for 221.56 KVAR at 433 V = 221.59
------------------------ x 1000
433 x 1.732 x 0.6

= 492 Amps.

Answer / venkatesh o

normally Formula
Kvar= 1.732*V*I*Sin(pi)
If Pure Capacitor 90 Leads so The power factor is Unity(1)
Assume *V=415
*Sin(90)=1(But Reactive power is zero)
since I=Kvar/1.732*V*1 Eg. 1000/1.732*415*1=1.39A
other formula for Determine KW=KVAR/tan(pi)or KW=VIcos(PI)
Assume * cos(0.9)
since KW=KVAR/tan....Equ 1, take the cos invesr is equal to (0.9)=25.8419 ...Equ 2
KW=30KVAR/tan25.8419=61.94KW OR
they are more formulas
* KW=KVAR/tan(pi)
* Kw=KVA*cos(pi)
* Kw=SQroot(KVAZ^2-(KVAr)^2

Answer / botsar joseph antony

Ic=IsinQ1-I'sinQ2
where Q1 = phi1 and Q2 = phi
I is the curent, before correction and I' is the current,
after correction.
Ic is the subject of formula.
